Default What would you do?

I got a call from B&T and they asked me what color bedliner would I like to have in the Camino. This never occured to me as I was thinking Black but they sugested the same color red as the car would look nice. I'm painting it the factory red color so would you go with black or red? Would it be to much red?

Black would give it some contrast but I think that I would go with the color of the car.

I already have a little contrast in the back. I'm adding tail stripes in black on the rear under the clear coat; kind of lke Dodge Superbee stripes but with camino or a chevy emblem in the middle instead of a bee. Also the interior is black so i thought it would kind of bring everything together. Maybe a black taneo cover over the bed too but I'm Still not sure which way to go but your right stalkingbear I would hate it if the shade didn't match the car color. I decided to go with the liner because I want this truck to have a useable bed so the liner is a must. Any more opinions; keep them coming.

I did think it would look cool with a black bedliner and red stipes going across the bed matching up with the black stripes on the sides but the wife said "NO".

The bed's were originally body color so that would look natural but as mentioned if it's not the same shade of red that wouldn't be good. I do have a friend that had his pickup bed coated instead of a bedliner, they matched the body color exactly.

Black is probably safer and it would be a nice contrast.

Well I hope we helped, we got it narrowed down to either red or black. The rest is up to you.
